Christian and I (Akshata) talk about cephalopod evolution, how consciousness could have evolved, the role of language in thought, social intelligence, and a cool octopus proto-society. This is a deep dive on on Peter Godfrey-Smith’s book "Other Minds: the Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness."
